Hello Raghda,First of all I want to complement you on your English. You must be a very bright young girl to write so good in English!Second: I think to know what Kitty thinks. She thinks: I hope that Raghda will grow up some time to be a very special adult that cares for other people, that does not kow hate but only love, A person that everybody is proud of. Also a person that has an open mind and an open heart, that will work hard to make this world a better place for all peace loving people. A person, also, that believes that peace does not come from a gun but from the heart.

I know you must be missing Baghdad. But I'm sure you'll go back there before too very long, when it's a safe place to be. And, for now, you can have fun at the movies, going shopping, and doing all the nice things that you deserve to be able to do.

Meanwhile, I don't have to worry about you every day like before.

I wish that all the good Iraqui people like you could be as safe as you now are.

Hola Raghda,That's Hello in spanish. I think you are a very intelligent and sensitive teen, just like my youngest daughter.Kitty must be thinking about my three legged cat (injured by a car) who is very moody sometimes.

This kitty is looking especially naughty! She is thinking about how much she wants to claw and bite! Oh wait, she just changed her mind. Now she wants to run and hide under the bed so she can take a nap. :)

I always ask my cats what they're thinking, but they don't tell me in words. Sometimes I might hear a "meow" out of them if they want something like attention or a treat. But if they're purring, it probably means they're content. This cat looks like it could be purring, but it's hard to tell whether it's daydreaming or wide awake. I'm glad it didn't take too long for you to get out of Iraq! Do they speak the same language in the UAE?

you take very nice pictures and i am thinking the kitty is think oh now what is she doing and what is that thing she point at me.... cats are by nature very cuious animals i love them too....you have a very cute blog i have put it on my blogroll...sometimes it is good to go to a site that is just have nice things like this.

Hello Raghda, Maybe this Kitty is saying, I am sad because I must leave home soon, but I would very much like to return. I am extreemly fond of cats, myself. I found your blog by using a search engine to search "cats" and finding your blog I was led to all your relatives and friends, that wonderful community of Iraqi bloggers in English. Your nation has every reason to be proud of each and every, one of you. You represent to anyone in the world, able to read English, a voice of sanity and tolerance. All of you, every single blogger of the Iraqi blog count, speaks from the heart, speaks with great candor, often with forebearance, always with tact. Even though, such sad circumstances mean that at this moment Baghdad Girl is no longer in Baghdad, please stay as "Baghdad girl", with your Iraq forever, cats forevever and Baghdad forever. One day Baghdad will be a city free of all terror. In 1750 Lisbon was destroyed, it was rebuilt. In 1945 Warsaw was destroyed, it was rebuilt. Beiruit was destroyed but was rebuilt, and, if need be, will be rebuilt again and so it will be with Baghdad.

Hi Raghda,I just discovered your blog and like it very much. You sound like such a sweet, smart young lady. I love cats too and have 7, Joey is a Siamese, Rusty is a big fat orange cat, I have two black cats named Charlie and Mackie, a Persian cat with one bad front leg named Sadie, a big fat white and black cat named Rammie and a tiny little orange and white kitty named Riki-Tiki.I'm an American woman and hate what is happening to your country. I'm very glad you and your family got to go the UAE where you can be safe and hopefully your time there will be short and you can return to a peaceful Iraq.Keep blogging and keep posting the cat pictures. I noticed you said you were going to your first movie. What did you go see?Love,RobinUSA
